If you like laughing until your belly aches, then you are in the right place at The Prince Charles Hospital on a Tuesday when Laughter Care Specialist Flora comes to visit! 🌼

Flora loves clowning around with patients like Margaret, playing her ukelele and singing classics with those on ward 1F.

"I'm just a bit of a fool, and I love to make new friends, as well as sing, so this is the perfect role for me," Flora said, upon joining the TPCH team.

"I love singing!" Margaret added, as she joined Flora in song.

Laughter Care Specialists are currently visiting our older patients, who tend to spend a while in hospital, with the hope of rolling out further across TPCH. 🤹‍♀️🤭 ... See MoreSee Less

The RBWH saw over 800,000 outpatients in the last year, and Nurse Navigator Amanda is one of a few special people making the hospital experience easier for them. 🏥🗺️

"It's all about hospital avoidance so we look at ways we can engage our patients into attending their outpatient appointments, looking at the barriers to why they aren't attending, and linking them with community support services," Amanda explains.

"We work with people who have two or more specialist outpatient specialists and may need that extra assistance, whether English is their second language or they don't have much family support, we see a broad range of patients.

"We act as a central point of contact, and we work across multiple specialties, departments and external services to ensure patients receive the right care at the right time."

The RBWH Nurse Navigator service is recruiting for another compassionate and skilled clinician to join their team. If this sounds like you then apply today! #WorkforusWednesday
